Magnolia Cemetery Improvement Project has fundraiser underway through Community Foundation
SUMMARY: We’re excited to welcome everyone back and to introduce our special guest, Tracy Jones. Tracy is leading the Magnolia Cemetery Improvement Project as the chairperson, a former WTO general manager, and a past colleague of ours. We’re diving into the project details, which aim to restore and repave the historic cemetery’s roads, desperately in need of repair. The community foundation is managing a fund to ensure all money goes to the project. An ambitious $600,000 fundraising goal has been set, with brick selling for $300 each to support the cause. More information and contribution options are available on the project’s website, magnoliameridian.com. Tracy highlights the cemetery’s significance, including the burial of notable individuals like Congressman Sonny Montgomery and singer-songwriter Paul Davis, as well as the family graves of many local residents. The campaign kickoff begins today, with hopes that the community will generously support the cause and preserve the cemetery’s historical value.
Magnolia Cemetery is 125 years old and is showing its age. Located on 23rd Avenue, it was once a picturesque spot. Visit magnoliameridian.com for details.

SUMMARY: The Catholic Diocese of Jackson reflects on Pope Francis’ impactful legacy, highlighting his message of joy and simplicity. Mary Woodward, Chancellor of the Diocese, admired the dignity and simplicity of the Pope’s funeral, which exemplified his approach to life and leadership. Francis’ focus on marginalized communities and his efforts to build bridges rather than walls earned him respect across faiths, even among non-believers. His funeral was a significant moment, marked by images of the Pope at the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Jackson, with a red cloth symbolizing his connection to the Apostle Peter.

SUMMARY: Residents of West Jackson are frustrated by the long wait for street repairs. Mr. Johnson, a local, voiced his concerns over a growing pothole on Denver and Long Street, demanding full repairs instead of temporary patches. Despite some recent repair attempts, the hole persists due to ongoing water drainage issues from nearby apartments. City workers, including an employee named Isaac, explained that the water flow must be stopped before permanent fixes can occur. The area also suffers from illegal dumping, with tires being placed around the pothole as a makeshift barrier, further adding to residents’ frustrations.
